Would you pull for Romo on another team

Yes. Rooting for the Cowboys regardless of feelings means you're miserable.

Or maybe it makes me a man.

Can't root for us if we're sitting at 4-12 watching the playoffs. Nothing wrong with rooting for some of our franchise players when we weren't even in the playoffs ourselves

I'm fine pulling for an ex player as long as it doesn't negatively affect the team. I'm glad Ware got a ring, but I'm bummed it wasn't with us. Life's short. I'm not going to waste my remaining years bitter at things that didn't turn out exactly as I wanted. If Romo gets a ring as QB for the Broncos, I'll be glad for him, but I'm rooting against him if they've playing the Cowboys.

Sorry dude, nobody said anything about not rooting for the Cowboys. I will always root for the Cowboys. That being said, I can still cheer for Romo when he's not playing our team.

Well let's think about that. The Cowboys decide to go Dak over Romo. We are 4-12 and the Broncos are making a playoff run. Why would I be happy to see that when it almost definitely means we made the wrong decision?

Yay! Prove us wrong! Our front office sucks!!

It's just not me. That's putting players above the team.

It might help him get into the HOF if he did. I'm all for it unless it impacts us.

It makes you 2016's version of a man. Who when checked for a hernia needs the doctor to palm a purse when you cough.

Well no I'm not rooting for us to lose, of course I want us to win. I'm just saying if we both made playoffs and we lost in divisional round, but Romo with Broncos made it further, I wouldn't see harm in cheering for him since our season is over at that point

It depends on how he leaves. If he leaves in a classy fashion such as he has maintained, then yes. If his tone changes and he starts taking shots, then no. I hope that whatever happens, he will remain or come back in some capacity and be with the team for a long time. I would love for him to work his way up the coaching ladder and take over for Garrett down the road. He has too much money to probably want to go through the coaching grind but I still hope that will happen.

It would steam my clams to see Romo win a title somewhere else. That's like a nightmare to me.

You may disagree with me but understand this is because of my devotion to the team and not any hate toward any player.

I finally put Risen Star on ignore. I should have a long time ago. His posts aren't worth my time to read. We have plenty of CZ members who post insightful stuff that are worth my time. Buh-bye, RS. Btw, if you reply, please leave out the quote. No sense bothering him with this. I don't hate the guy. I just don't want to waste my time reading his posts.

In general no

However if they Cowboys are out of the Superbowl and Romo's Denver Broncos are in then I will pull for Romo like I did Ware.

I say Broncs because that has to be his #1 landing spot.

Unless it was against us, Yes. For HIM, not whatever team he'd end up on.

How about if we get a first round pick? Shouldn't we root for him to lose every game and get us the first overall pick? I love Tony, but if we get a high pick for him I think I may want his team to lose every week. If it's a 3rd or 4th, I'm not inclined to care about the draft position so I'll root for him if it doesn't negatively impact the Cowboys in any way.

I was happy to see Ware get his ring though. Does that make me not a man? Damn.

What's it going to be then, eh?

I think for a week, all members should be forced to have a "Team Dak" or "Team Tony" avatar just so things can get more transparent.
